New TOC Analyzer Runs Samples - All Day, Every Day

The new Sievers InnovOx Laboratory Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Analyzer can consecutively handle thousands of common—as well as difficult samples such as brine and cellulose—with unprecedented system uptime. The InnovOx offers oxidation robustness, a linear working range of 0.5 to 50,000 ppm, and calibration curve stability for industrial waste and environmental or process water samples.

Supercritical Water Oxidation (SCWO) Technique
GE Analytical Instruments' patent-pending Supercritical Water Oxidation (SCWO) technique enables the InnovOx to achieve its analytical performance and calibration stability. Using an oxidation process in a super critical state has shown good TOC recoveries across a broad range of organic compounds and particulate impurities. This new process removes sample and precipitated impurities between each analytical run, eliminating sample matrices contamination and providing reliable, long-term system performance.

Versatile Measurement Modes
With the InnovOx, analysts can routinely test for Total Carbon (TC), Total Inorganic Carbon (TIC), Total Organic Carbon (TOC), and Non-Purgeable Organic Carbon (NPOC). The InnovOx software provides versatile analysis options such as multiple runs on the same sample, auto calibration range selection, and integration with the Sievers 900 Autosampler.
